Pattern Highlights
The Daisy Flower
- Center consists of two pieces: A green sepal and a yellow stamen, both crocheted in the round and joined together.
- Petals: Crocheted in one go, joining the center pieces using white yarn and triple crochet stitches to create elongated petals.
Leaves
- Structured with wire: Crocheted around a 0.5 mm wire base for realistic shape and stability.
- Tapered shape: Shaped gradually with a mix of stitches for a natural look.
Pot & Soil
- Pot: Worked in continuous rounds, expanded with structured increases, sides are worked in back loops, and finished with a decorative rim.
- Soil: A flat circle, worked separately and sewn into the top of the pot.
Assembly
- Sturdy construction: Pot is stuffed and weighted (optional) for stability.
- Flower branch: Made from a stick wrapped with green yarn and attached with hot glue.
- Leaves and flower: Assembled securely for a long-lasting, realistic finish.
Notes
- Mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker for easier counting and to keep your rounds even, especially for the sepal, stamen, and pot.
- When making the magic ring, make sure to pull the tail tightly to close, except for the soil where a hole is needed.
- For the leaves, use floral wire and work stitches tightly around the wire for best control and shape.
- Use a hot glue gun carefully to avoid burns and keep the assembly neat.
- Adjust the size of your hook or number of rounds as needed based on your yarn weight or preferred final size.
